MAJOR ISSUE OF THE WORLD:-
There are many issues in the world but some issues are major and danger for humans.
FOR EXAMPLE :-
1- Food Security
2- Major Global Health Issues
3- Child primary education etc
These are some global and major issues.
Now we discus these issues in detail. First of all we discus the food security.
FOOD SECURITY:-
Food Security; as define by the united nation (UN) ''Committee on world Food security,means that all people, at all times, have physical , social,and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their food preferences and dietary needs for an active and healthy life.
The number of hungry people in the world has increased over the last few years. One in nine people in the world go hungry each day and suffer from nutritional deficiencies as a result.
In previous years, food security has been the biggest threat to the overall health of the human population, more so than malaria, tuberculosis or HIV. And, 2020 saw the most severe increase in global food insecurity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, impacting vulnerable households almost everywhere.
Current estimates show that nearly 690 million people are going hungry – up by 10 million people in just one year and by nearly 60 million in five years.
So, what is the problem? How can it be 2021 and people are still going hungry?
The problem is not that we aren’t producing enough food, but rather that people lack access to food. Many people do not have enough money to purchase food and cannot grow their own.
According to the World Food Programme (WFP), countries with the highest level of food insecurity also have the highest outward migration of refugees.
And this problem is twofold: While overall hunger has steadily decreased over the past decade, there has been an increase in the number of refugees. Refugees typically suffer the most from food insecurity.
Even though approximately 11% of the world is undernourished, about 30% of the adult population are overweight.
No country in the world had seen any kind of decrease in obesity rate. In fact, it’s rising among both children and adults. While it is tempting to think of obesity as a form of “over-nutrition”, it is actually another kind of malnutrition.
People consume pre-packed food that is low in nutrients, and high in carbs and preservatives. As a result, they increase their risk of obesity.
Another surprising fact about obesity is that, while you might expect it to only occur among higher-income groups, it actually affects people at every income level.
Nutritious food is often more expensive and, in some areas, access to healthy foods is restricted or even non-existent. When food prices rise, lower-income communities have no choice but to choose prepackaged, high-carb and high-sugar options.
Go test this out for yourself. Visit your local supermarket and compare the price of a punnet of strawberries to a candy bar. Which is cheaper? If you didn’t have much money, which would you choose?
The UN is working to reduce the number of hungry people to zero by 2030. This is represented by UN SDG Goal 2: Zero Hunger.
There are many countries who faces food issues e.g the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and South Sudan etc.
In the next artical we will discus the next issue.
